Title: What is a cell type?
Authors: Fleck, Jonas Simon, Camp, J. Gray, Treutlein, Barbara
Source: Science (pre-March 2025). 8/18/2023, Vol. 381 Issue 6659, p733-734. 2p. 1 Diagram.
Subjects: Organs (Anatomy), Cell culture, Developmental neurobiology
Abstract: The article focuses on efforts to create comprehensive cell atlases across the human lifespan, assigning cell types based on molecular features. Topics discussed include challenges in defining cell types, the influence of perturbations on cell phenotypes, the role of in vitro models in studying perturbations, and the potential of predictive modeling to chart the human cell phenoscape.
